The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up Chapter 179

Chapter 179: 179
Translator: HunterW Editor: RED As more and more powder from the Dark Crystal was absorbed into the earrings, the brighter the earrings shone, until that light completely went out . There wasn't any change to its appearance and for a second there, I thought it had failed, until a message appeared . ==[The King-Emperor's Commitment has received the power of the Dark Crystal . The King-Emperor's Commitment has received the Dark Crystal's first effect and one of its seven effects will be upgraded by one tier . The King-Emperor's Commitment can no longer receive any more power from the Dark Crystal . ]== "It worked!" I bet on the 1% and I struck gold, getting the exact effect I wanted . "Item Check!" ==[The King-Emperor's Commitment (Rank 10) The King-Emperor's true treasure . All Stats increased by 450 points Increase Mana Conversion skill level by 2 Add Blink Skill Increase CRIT rate by 9% Increase CRIT damage by 500% Increase Penetration by 240 points Increase EXP gain from monsters by 15% DEF 1000, MDEF 1000]== "Holy shit!" Ever since I had gained the King-Emperor's Commitment, I had always checked it whenever I could . It was just that powerful and I was so proud that I had crafted it myself . I knew what its effects were so well that I immediately noticed what had changed . Mana Conversion's skill level was no longer increased by one, but two levels now! "Hehehe . " There was only a 1% chance it would work, and a one in seven chance that the Dark Crystal would choose Mana Conversion . I cackled to myself . There was no one around me anyway . . . "Check Mana Conversion!" ==[Mana Conversion's level has been raised from level 2 to level 3 . ]== ==[Mana Conversion Level 3 Convert your Mana to one of the Five Attributes . Increases ATT by 45% For every successful attack, there is a 30% chance to inflict the damage effect of the chosen Attribute type . Increase damage of all Attribute-based attacks by 15,000-75,000 . This skill has no cooldown . ]== More than anything, the ATT boost was raised by 15% . That meant that this skill was 30% stronger than anyone else using Mana Conversion . 30% wasn't a huge difference between devas who only have about 10,000-20,000 ATT, but that wasn't the case with me . 30% of my ATT was nothing to scoff at! I broke out into a fit of laughter again, happy that the Dark Crystal had sharply increased my already high combat abilities . I took out the Random Skill Chest . "Strike while the iron is hot, right?" I opened the chest without hesitation . ==[You have opened a Rank 9 Random Skill Chest . You currently have 0 skill points . You will receive a skill that requires 0 skill points . ]== I knew that . That was why I had just spent all of my remaining skill points . This was one hell of a gamble . A light shone out of the chest for a while before disappearing . ==[You have obtained the skill, Listen . ]== "Huh?" I was taken aback . What the hell was Listen? "What the hell is this? I've still got two ears and I'm not deaf . Why does a skill like this even exist in the first place?" There were so many good skills out there, like Muskan's Descendant of the Destruction God, Lagus's Psychokinesis . I knew about Phoenix Summon, Immortal, and so many more that I wouldn't have time to list them all . I didn't want one of those . Well, okay . Maybe I did . But I did at least expect something almost as good those skills . "But what the fuck is Listen!? It's not what I wanted!" I finally realized that it was stupid to gamble on 0 . I had screwed up and just wasted a damn Rank 9 Random Skill Chest . ==[You may decide whether or not to learn the skill, Listen . You will not be able to delete the skill after learning it . Learn/Don't Learn . ]== Another message appeared while I was frothing with anger . "God damn it! Check Listen!" No matter how angry I was, I needed to check what it was first . ==[Listen (1/10, (Passive) Grants the ability to listen . Required skill points: 0 Required golden rings: 0]== " . . . " I stared dumbly at the skill description . I thought that maybe there was more to it, but reality was cruel . "Ha . Haha . Ha…ha . " I plopped down on the ground and stared at the message, unsure if I should really learn it or not . --- Benten-jima, Hokkaido, Japan… Three people were gathered on this deserted island that sat closest to Russia from Japan . They were Wai Chung, Okamoto, and Kazunari . Benten-jima wasn't really an island, more of a rock that sat in the northernmost part of Japan's waters . It was only 0 . 005 square kilometers in area, its perimeter roughly 0 . 5 kilometers around and its highest point only 20 meters above sea level . Its small size was the reason Kazunari decided to meet here . A small, deserted rock of an island was the perfect place to create a prison-like dungeon . One would think how that would work on a small, narrow space, but that didn't matter . Like all other dungeons, the ones Kazunari could create were bigger on the inside . All he needed was a secluded area that wouldn't attract too much attention . The three men moved to the center of the island where the entrance to the created dungeon was located . Kazunari spoke as he stood in front of the entrance . "Entering the dungeon through this door is the only way you can come back out . " "What do you mean?" asked Wai Chung . "I mean exactly what I said . Lee Jiwon cannot and will not open this door on his own . When I invite Lee Jiwon to this dungeon, it won't be to this door, which means he won't be able to find this one door by himself," Kazunari said, with a wicked smile on his face . The three entered the dungeon . "As I've said before, I can't create a prison . I have to put in a way out of the dungeon once it's cleared, even if it's not a door . For example, I can set a requirement like 'clear the monsters' or 'defeat the boss monster in set amount of time' or 'find a hidden message or key' and clear the dungeon that way . It's the one rule I have to follow when creating dungeons . " Wai Chung frowned at Kazunari's explanation . "Will it work on Lee Jiwon, and for at least a year or two at that?" Kazunari smiled again . He knew how strong Lee Jiwon was . He knew when Lee Jiwon defeated the Blood Prince, but even he was surprised when the Predator Duke was defeated . The Duke had the highest potential of becoming the strongest out of all the Monarchs, after all . There was no way Kazunari would set a simple requirement for Lee Jiwon . If he did, he might as well hand the dungeon rewards to Lee Jiwon personally . He had to set a requirement that was practically impossible to clear . "I'm completely aware of that problem . I didn't ask for two thousand people to incur an irreversible death penalty for no reason . It was all because of Lee Jiwon . " Kazunari continued forward while smiling, and with Wai Chung and Okamoto were right behind him . When they arrived in a small space, a message appeared before them . ==[You have arrived at the safe room . The boss of this dungeon must be defeated in order to leave this dungeon . If the boss remains undefeated, this dungeon will remain closed to the outside world . ]== "How simple . " "It's enough if we're only going to imprison Lee Jiwon . " "But all he has to do is defeat the dungeon boss? Will it be enough? Lee Jiwon is able to defeat most dungeon bosses on his own . " "I can't create a dungeon boss monster that is any stronger than that of a mid-grade dungeon . I know very well that it's not enough to hold Lee Jiwon in this place . " "If you do know, then what…" Okamoto said, but Kazunari only laughed and headed for the boss room . ==[You have entered the boss room . Defeating the boss will yield a Rank 8 Random Item Chest . A Random Golden Ring Chest containing 100,000,000-300,000,000 golden rings will also be rewarded . ]== Wai Chung and Okamoto barely gave a glance at the new message . They already knew about it, as they were the ones who provided the dungeon rewards . They focused instead on the small, cute animal standing in the middle of the room . It was a mole . ==[Dungeon Mole (Invincible) Dungeon Moles are extremely rare . They prefer to roll around in damp earth and have quite the sweet tooth . Give one a piece of candy and it will follow you around . ]== "That's…" "The boss monster?" There was nothing in the boss room, except for the small mole that was as big as a man's palm . "That's right . " It did not look anything like a boss monster, but Wai Chung and Okamoto weren't necessarily disappointed . It was very special indeed . "I used those two thousand lives to give it the Invincible special effect . Of course, as time goes on and every time it's attacked, it'll lose its Invincibility . " "Is that why you said one to two years?" "Yes . If, for any reason, Lee Jiwon decides not to do anything when he realizes the mole is Invincible, the effect will last up to three years . But if we take into account his personality, I would give it at least a year, and at most two . " Wai Chung and Okamoto finally broke out into smiles at Kazunari's description . The dungeon's requirement was to defeat an invincible boss . That was just impossible for anyone . "I doubt anyone could ever bring themselves to attack something as cute as this little guy," Kazunari said . "Kyuu?" The mole purred as if it were replying to Kazunari . Wai Chung and Okamoto remained silent, though . They weren't sure if he was joking or being serious . --- Guryong Mountain… "Ha…I'll learn it . " ==[You have learned the skill, Listen . Skills learned from Random Chests cannot be deleted . ]== I decided to just learn the skill . Why? Because I did something stupid, and it would serve as a constant reminder to not do anything as stupid ever again . "I swear I'm not going to gamble ever again!" I did manage to win with the Dark Crystal, but I was too angry to care about that right now . Just then, I heard something off in the distance . 'Gah! I'm so pissed, damn it!' "Huh?" I looked around me . My high Stats actually allowed me to sense the presence of people around me . I was absolutely positive there wasn't a single soul in my vicinity . "What's going on?" I couldn't tell if whoever was 'talking' was a man, woman, child or adult . It was more like a ghost was whispering, and was very annoyed about something .
